REVENGE CAN GET STICKY... Sicily never considered herself a gullible schlump. Of course she knew Bear was a bit of a bad boy. So how it all went down... Let's just say, if somebody made a gangster movie about her love life, this would be the part where people start dying. She should have seen it coming. When she catches her boyfriend, Bear, with his sticky fingers on another girl’s pastries, she decides it’s high time to bury this rat. Before she can focus on that, though, an unfortunate splash of pine cleaner leads to a rather wicked rash. That rash leads to a sexy Italian doctor. That doctor leads to a bold, and rather inspiring, kiss. Sicily decides to embrace her roots...the made up ones, anyway. After all, her uncle did his best to raise her on all kinds of outrageous lies about his secret life in the mafia. So, I ask you. Who better to serve up an epic revenge scheme than the niece of a (not really) mobster? Add to that a duel with Samuel Adams and her brazen debut at a strip club... and Sicily finds herself with a brand new career: as a relationship hit woman. Life can be funny like that. In a world where lies become truth and the truth can become a lie, sometimes... to start a new life... you gotta end with a dead body. The Hit List is the start of an unconventional, highly outrageous FBI team. If you enjoy off-the-wall heroines, madcap adventures, and a splash of sassy romance, you'll enjoy teaming up with The Hotties on their anything but by-the-book cases.

Asha Parekh The Hit Girl
Author: Khalid Mohamed
Publisher: Om Books International
ISBN: 9386316986
Category : Motion picture actors and actresses
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Asha Parekh was to the movies born. Ever since she was knee-high, she faced the camera as a child artiste, while performing simultaneously at dance fetes. An alumnus of Bombay’s The J. B. Petit Girls’ High School, she devoted after-school hours to learning classical dance from exacting gurus. Given a break as a leading lady by Filmalaya Studio’s Sashadhar Mukherjee, she debuted opposite Shammi Kapoor in the romantic entertainer Dil Deke Dekho. Instantaneously, the audience and the critics agreed: “A star is born.” Followed a concatenation of silver and golden jubilee hits, which established her as the quintessential Hit Girl. Possessed of all the requisites of the cinema of the 1960s and the ’70s – felicity at instinctive acting, intricate dance skills and the ability to invest conviction into the roles of zestful, glamour-exuding film heroines – she made an impact, too, with parts demanding gravitas. Apart from films in Hindi, she has also acted in films in Gujarati, Punjabi and a film in Kannada. The Mumbai film trade, to date, acknowledges her as one of the heroines with the highest number of successes. Her innumerable dance ballets on stage have earned her untold acclaim, at home and overseas. Among her other facets, she has been involved since decades in running a charitable hospital. She was Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (1998-2001) and has been associated with the Cine and TV Artistes’ Associations and other organisations dedicated to the welfare of film industry workers, technicians and actors. She turned producer and director with several top TRP-rated TV serials like ‘Kora Kagaz’ and ‘Palash ke Phool’ and programmes like ‘Baaje Paayal’. Currently she has chosen to retire from acting, but adds, “Never say never.” She lives by the famed Juhu shoreline in Mumbai.

Pages : 229
Book Description
Dorothy Carvello knows all about the music biz. She was the first female A&R executive at Atlantic Records, and one of the few in the room at RCA and Columbia. But before that, she was secretary to Ahmet Ertegun, Atlantic's infamous president, who signed acts like Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin, negotiated distribution deals with Mick Jagger, and added Neil Young to Crosby, Stills & Nash. The stories she tells about the kingmakers of the music biz are outrageous, but it is her sinuous friendship with Ahmet that frames her narrative. He was notoriously abusive, sexually harassing Dorothy on a daily basis. Carvello reveals here how she flipped the script and showed Ertegun and every other man who tried to control her that a woman can be just as willing to do what it takes to get a hit. Never-before-heard stories about artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Steven Tyler, Bon Jovi, INXS, Marc Anthony, and many more make this book a must-read for anyone looking for the real stories on what it takes for a woman to make it in a male-dominated industry.
